Well, receiving EOS is not what is unexpected... that's fine.

The problem in my case is, that there is no way to detect if we have EOS
without errors before, if we are running and don't have EOS or if we have EOS
and had an error before.

In case of error I don't think we want to call the collected function again as
we already know that everything is broken. Also the element can't know this and
if it's called again it will do whatever it should do as if nothing has
happened. This can be quite unexpected IMHO ;)
